That’s amazing! What a result! All these unintended results are great. That movie is so powerful, it’s pretty amazing. Thanks for the comments Uncle Dean and Mark as well! That’s super fascinating that the doctor actually recommended lemon water. I am drinking it every day and loving it!

I was telling a co-worker about it the other day, and told her about the Forks Over Knives movie and that it was available on Netflix. Yesterday she told me she’d watched the movie and was so impressed, she had her in-laws watch it. Her father-in-law, whom she described as a classic “meat-and-potatoes” man, and who suffers from gout, was so convinced by the movie that he said to his wife, “I think I could go vegetarian.” Wow! This is very exciting!

Your results are impressive and I am happy to hear that your health has made a dramatic improvement. Your lemon water has another huge benefit. Recently my brother had a couple of kidney stones which were removed through a non-invasive (medical definition, not his) medical procedure. When the urologist came out after the procedure I asked, since I am the younger brother, if there was anything I could do to help prevent kidney stones. He said drink lemon water. Apparently (there is research on this) the lemon water helps to prevent the formation of kidney stones.

Keep up the good work!
Dean

My girlfriend and I have started a vegan-at-home regime since our book club read ‘Eating Animals’ — we’ve similarly been surprised how easy it’s been to adjust to the new diet. We’ve even been able to accomodate our favorite weekly tradition — pizza night on Wednesdays — by adding bean-based sauces rather than cheese. We’re right there with you on the difficulty of a strict commitment to veganism outside the home. Your 97/79 plan seems like an excellent (and sustainable!) balance.

Cheers from Pittsburgh!
